Anyone else here get paranoid when thinking about death? I wish I believed in an afterlife

The funny thing is, I was thinking about that last night. How we could die at any moment. I mean, the Manhattan Project people thought it was possible that when they detonated the first H-Bomb, the atmosphere might ignite and instantly fry the earth. Imagine if something like that happened this very next instant. I don't believe in an afterlife either anymore, and what with my Mom guilt tripping me over losing my faith, I'm probably gonna stay that way out of bitterness. Truth is, I really am afraid to die. I've lived 20 years and done nothing, and I live in a time where technology will eventually allow me to prolong my life by decades or even get a new body 50 years in the future, who knows, and I will jump at the chance. I refuse to die until I say so.

It's just so weird that one day you'll close your eyes and never wake up. It's hard to explain but it's the scariest feeling for me, just thinking about it. Knowing our time here is finite.

You guys should probably know that advancements in technology that can make us live longer has advanced significantly in recent years (I remember an article not too long ago about an injection that reverses the aging process in a few days). But I don't get why death is so scary for you guys ...
